Goat Cheese and Sun Dried Tomato Crostini

June 26, 2014

These are some of my favorite flavaaas.

Do you like bread? Oh how I love bread. I don’t eat a ton of it, but when I do, I enjoy every last bite. Bread with butter? Bread with olive oil and parm? Bread with goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, balsamic glaze, and basil? HECK YES.

This recipe for Goat Cheese and Sun Dried Tomato Crostini might be the easiest recipe I have on the blog, but one of my favorites. You know I love goat cheese and you know I love sun dried tomatoes, hence this salad recipe and this pasta recipe. I don’t think I have to mention this, but balsamic glaze might be the best thing ever. I could go on and on about each ingredient, I heart them all, but the true beauty of them? They go SO WELL together. The flavors were meant to be. Kind of like me and ice cream.

Seriously though…this stuff is easy. This is the perfect appetizer if you’re hosting a dinner party or having friends over. Open a bottle of red wine and everyone will love you…forever.

Heck, I had this for lunch the other day. No joke.

And it’s just so darn pretty. Please please please make this! I beg of you.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet; set aside.

Drizzle olive on bread and dust with garlic powder. Bake in oven for about 7 minutes or until toasted and crispy. Let cool slightly before adding goat cheese.

Spread goat cheese on each piece of bread, top with sun dried tomatoes, drizzle of balsamic glaze, and fresh basil.

To make balsamic glaze, pour ½ - 1 cup (depends on much you want to make) unto a sauce pan and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and turn to low and simmer until thickened. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn!

Notes

I did not provide amount of ingredients as it depends on how much you want to make. You can use as little or as much of each ingredients as you would like. I prefer a lot of everything. Also, refer to the recipe links in this blog post on how to make balsamic glaze.

It’s SO good! You can purchase balsamic glaze at your grocery store where they sell balsamic vinegar or you could make it yourself by pouring 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar into a sauce pan and simmering it over medium-low heat until nice and thickened – just watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn!

Hi Nadia – it all depends on how much you want to make. For these types of recipes, eye balling is the best way to go – there really isn’t a need to measure. It also depends on your taste preference – I love a ton of goat cheese while other may want just a light slather. Hope this helps!
